CANNES

Bassem Fayad

Ziad leads a life of simple, controlled routine, crunching numbers for an unseen corporation. But when a series of seemingly inconsequential occurrences results in him taking in a small street cat, his strictly maintained sense of order goes out the window.

Gate #5 is a film that retraces the life journey of “Najm” and other Lebanese truck drivers, from the 1960s and until the present day. It follows a path marked by migration, civil war and changes in the social and economic fabric of the country.
